I would be surprised to see it, for a number of reasons:

- Solaris doesn't have MIT/Heimdal Kerberos.  It has SEAM, aka Sun
Kerberos.  I don't know if this matters, but ...
- Solaris doesn't have OpenLDAP.  It has Sun LDAP.  I don't know if this
matters, but ...

This may have changed in 10, but as of the last time I looked at 9, it
was still the Sun specialized versions (for good reasons, from what I've
read)

Take a look at www.openpkg.org, as it will (as of CVS/upcoming 2.6)
build Samba (and MIT Kerberos/OpenLDAP/a bucket of other open source
tools) for many platforms including Solaris.  I currently use OpenPKG,
and find it quite handy.
